BF4 Connectivity Issues; Double XP Postponed

A banner across the top of the
Battlefield 4 forum
index shouts that the double XP event planned for the end of the year is
postponed: "THE END OF DECEMBER 2XP EVENT FOR PREMIUM MEMBERS HAS BEEN POSTPONED
AND WILL BE RUN AT A LATER DATE. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION. WE APOLOGIZE
FOR THE INCONVENIENCE." This follows a similar broadcast noted on
GameInformer warning of connectivity issues on all platforms for the
military shooter sequel, though it's not certain the two alerts are directly
related. The
Battlefield 4 top issues tracker recently launched to
some fanfare has not been updated since
December 20th, so it's not clear if they are dealing with new or previously
identified issues.
